Abstract
An understanding of the changes taking place in Singapore's construction industry is not achieved simply by reference to 'technological imperatives'. Changes in technology, work patterns and employment are closely bound up with the ideological orientations of the ruling elite. This article analyses these changes and examines the implications for the workforce.
